Abstract
An implantable transvenous defibrillation/cardioversion lead. The lead extends from a proximal end carrying electrical connectors to a bifurcated distal end. Distal to the bifurcation are a first, generally straight leg and a second, curved leg. In use, the distal end of the first, generally straight leg is located in the apex of the right ventricle and the distal end of the second, generally curved leg is located in the outflow tract from the right ventricle, with the point of bifurcation located approximately adjacent the tricuspid valve. Elongated coil electrodes are provided extending along the straight and curved legs, distal to the point of bifurcation of lead. The lead may be used in conjunction with a subcutaneous or othe additional defibrillation/cardioversion electrode.
